On April 10, 2014, Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (the "Company") announced
that its operating partnership, MPT Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), and MPT Finance Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Operating Partnership, commenced a public offering of senior notes. The
preliminary prospectus supplement, dated April 10, 2014, by which the senior
notes are being offered includes the following information under the heading
"Recent Developments":

"Acquisitions of Acute Care Hospitals

On March 31, 2014, we acquired a general acute care hospital and an adjacent
parcel for an aggregate purchase price of $115 million. The facility was
simultaneously leased back to its current operator under a lease with a 15-year
initial term with a 3-year extension option, followed by a further 12-year
extension option at fair market value. The lease provides for consumer
price-indexed annual rent increases, subject to a specified floor and ceiling.
The lease includes a customary right of first refusal with respect to a
subsequent proposed sale of the facility. In this prospectus supplement, we
refer to this acquisition as the "Hospital Acquisition." We financed the
purchase price for the Hospital Acquisition with borrowings under our revolving
credit facility.

In addition, we are currently in advanced discussions with a related seller to
purchase an additional acute care hospital for approximately $180 million, which
is expected to be leased back to its current operator under a lease with a
15-year initial term with up to 15 years of extension options and consumer
price-indexed annual rent increases, subject to a specified floor and ceiling.
This potential hospital acquisition is contingent upon, among other things, the
negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and the completion of
satisfactory due diligence. If consummated, we expect to fund the purchase price
with cash on hand, including any remaining net proceeds from this offering, and,
to the extent necessary, additional borrowings under our revolving credit
facility. In this prospectus supplement, we refer to this potential hospital
acquisition as the "Potential Hospital Acquisition." We cannot assure you that
the Potential Hospital Acquisition will be consummated on the terms described
above or at all.

Pending Development Transaction Pipeline

We have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with one of our current
operators/lessees for the development of an additional acute care facility in
the United States. The proposed transaction, which is valued at approximately
$55 million, is structured initially as a construction loan from us for the
development of the facility, followed by a sale and leaseback to the
operator/lessee upon completion under a lease with a 15-year initial term with
up to 15 years of extension options and consumer price-indexed annual rent
increases, subject to a specified floor and ceiling. While we expect the
transaction to close during the first half of 2014, the transaction is
contingent upon, among other things, the negotiation and execution of definitive
agreements and the completion of satisfactory due diligence, and we cannot
assure you that it will be consummated on the terms described above or at all.

In addition, we have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with an
affiliate of another of our current operators/lessees for the development of
emergency room facilities in the United States, as well as the development
and/or acquisition of acute care hospitals in the United States, with an
estimated aggregate funding commitment from us and our affiliates of
approximately $150 million. Each of these facilities, when completed, will be
leased to the operator/lessee or its affiliates under a master lease and
applicable subleases providing for a 15-year initial term with up to 15 years of
extension options and consumer price-indexed annual rent increases, subject to a
specified floor. While we expect definitive documentation with respect to this
transaction will be executed during the first half of 2014, we cannot assure you
that definitive documentation will be executed on the terms described above or
at all.

Potential Disposition

As described in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by
reference into this prospectus supplement, as of December 31, 2013, we had $21.0
million of rent, interest and other charges owed to us by the operator/lessee of
Monroe Hospital in Bloomington, Indiana. In addition, we have advanced $31.1
million to the operator/lessee pursuant to a working capital loan agreement.
Because the operator has not made all payments required by the real estate lease
agreement and working capital loan agreement, we consider the loan to be
impaired.

During the first quarter of 2014 we commenced and are now in advanced
discussions with a third party with respect to a restructuring of our investment
in the form of a new joint venture that would acquire the real estate of Monroe
Hospital and related assets in exchange for a combination of cash and promissory
notes. We will also be entitled to share in the joint venture's profits during
the first five years of operations. While we expect the transaction to close

during the second half of 2014, the transaction is contingent upon, among other
things, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and the
completion of satisfactory due diligence, and we cannot assure you that it will
be consummated on the terms described above or at all.

If consummated, we believe this transaction will result in an impairment of up
to $20 million to be recognized in the first quarter of 2014. If the transaction
is not completed as currently expected, further impairment charges could be
incurred."
